Dorothy Kaeck LM CPM
I have always been drawn to birth and babies... When I was a 7 years old I attended my second brother's birth, cutting his cord and touching his head when he was crowning. And when I was 13 I was lucky enough to be invited to the birth of a family friend. My mother has pictures of me listening to her belly with a fetoscope at 2 years old. I always idolized her midwives. Midwifery is a calling.
I first started attending births in 2007 as a student at the Northern New Mexico Birth Center. I became a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) in 2009 and moved to West Virginia to practice with another midwife. I've served many families in WV, Kentucky and Ohio - including the Amish communities there. Now I'm happily back in Taos, where I've been serving families since 2013. With my move back to Taos, I also became a Licensed Midwife (LM) in NM.
I believe that true informed decision making plays a vital role in client care.
"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."
